It's just a fifo that systemd-nspawn left lying around and tmpfiles cleaned 
up.  My way of not bothering is to just allow it.  It doesn't seem to do any 
harm.

grep asks for execmem but seems to work fine without it.  certbot won't 
function without it.

type_transition lvm_t device_t:blk_file fixed_disk_device_t;
type_transition lvm_t etc_t:file lvm_metadata_t;

Here's a couple of the type_transition rules in the current policy that 
indicate problems if you removed the transition to lvm_t.
